Graphical User Interface
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Run the GUI version of Argos Translate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
argos-translate-gui
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing a language
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
When installing with snap a .desktop file should also be installed which will make Argos Translate available from the desktop menu.
|
|
|
|
Languages are chosen as drop down choices. More languages pairs can be installed.
|
|
|
|
The left text box translates into the right box.
|
|
|
|
Example workflow translating from Vietnamese into English:
|
|
|
|
* Set the left drop down to `Vietnamese` and the right drop down to `English`.
|
|
* Replace the default text `Text to translate from` in the left text box with some text in Vietnamese. A quick way to do this is to click in the left text box and press the keyboard shortcut `CTRL+a` to select all and then `CTRL+v` to paste.
|
|
* Wait patiently.
|
|
* When text appears in the right text box, read the translation!
|
|
|
|
If the output looks similar to the input, try changing the origin language as some languages appear similar if you are unfamiliar with them.
|
|
|
|
Adding language pair models from the graphical interface
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Language pairs are on average 100MB each.
|
|
|
|
Installing new pairs through the GUI
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
* Open Argos Translate: `argos-translate-gui`
|
|
* Click on the `Manage Packages` menu item.
|
|
* Click on the `Download packages` button.
|
|
* Click on the down arrow beside a language pair that you want to add.
|
|
* Wait for the hourglass icon to change into a check mark icon.
|
|
* Repeat the last two steps until you have all of the language pairs that you want.
|
|
* Click on the `X` in the top right to close the `Download packages` window.
|
|
* Click on the `X` in the top right to close the `Manage Packages` window.
|
|
|
|
Note: The `Download packages` screen does not seem to have a scroll bar so you will probably need to follow the next set of instructions to import new pairs through the GUI.
